Stonehenge: Rocks.

After Trafalgar Square, we hopped a small tour bus and headed out to Stonehenge. It was a long two hour bus ride out to see these rocks enshrouded with mystery, especially with the super-loud Italians talking the whole way there and ya, they talked the WHOLE two hours back. When we first pictured Stonehenge, we pictured the stones as we had seen it in pictures, standing blissfully in a green field as sheep graze near by. However, when we actually went out to see it, we came face-to-face with reality: two highways on either side of this monument and the constant noise of traffic while we snapped photos of Stonehenge. On the plus side, we were given audio guides that helpe to drown out the noise of traffic and they explained the theories of the origin of Stonehenge and also the myths and legends surrounding the circle of stones (Aliens!). Oh, and yes, there were sheep grazing in the same field that we were in. But, despite the traffic, Stonehenge was beautiful to see at sunset. Totally worth it! (Especially with the hot chocolate and cupcake that we got at the end. Om nom nom)--Colleen
